Condition

This work is in very good condition. Canvas is lined. Edges are reinforced with tape. The surface retains a rich and textured impasto. There is some minor cracking scattered throughout the composition and one dot of paint toss at extreme upper edge above the sunflower. Under UV light a layer of varnish is somewhat difficult to read through. There are a few tiny lines of inpainting near the uppermost corners and at a few places along the extreme edge to address prior frame abrasion. Otherwise fine.
